Sean Murphy's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This appears to be a routine rest day for Murphy who has started in six of the last seven games. It's worth noting that fellow catcher Travis d'Arnaud returned from the injured list over the weekend. He'll do the catching and bat fifth versus right-hander Bailey Ober on Monday. The 35-year-old is hitting .253 with 13 home runs and 43 RBI in 81 games this season. Between the two, d'Arnaud is the better option in fantasy leagues, but his value is dependent on his playing time.

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy is resting in Thursday's series finale at Oracle Park against the San Francisco Giants. Veteran Travis d'Arnaud will be behind the plate and will bat fifth against Giants right-hander Logan Webb. Murphy missed a big chunk of time in the first half of the season due to injury and just hasn't been able to get going in 2024 after he was a first-time All-Star a year ago in his first year in Atlanta. The Braves have made a concerted effort to get Murphy more rest to keep him healthy this season. The 29-year-old has hit .261 (12-for-46) with two home runs, a double, triple and only three RBI in 14 games since the All-Star break. d'Arnaud faces a tough matchup against Webb, against whom he's hit just .154 against in 13 career at-bats with a homer and two RBI.

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy went 1-for-4 with a walk and his seventh home run of the season, a two-run shot, in Wednesday's 13-2 win over the Giants. Between injuries and ineffectiveness a the plate, it has been a rough season for the 29-year-old, however, he's shown some signs of life recently. The former third-round draft pick has gone 12-for-41 (.293) over his last 12 games, including a double, a triple, and two home runs. The former All-Star is now slashing .226/.310/.400 on the season with a .310 wOBA and 97 wRC+. Currently on a four-game hit streak, hopefully he can finish strong for those fantasy managers still counting on him.
